Brian Littrell, a 51-year-old member of the iconic band Backstreet Boys, has re-filed a complaint against a Florida woman he claims has repeatedly trespassed on his beachfront property, mere weeks after a judge dismissed his initial lawsuit. On February 25th, Littrell's lawyers submitted the new filing, demanding a jury trial and seeking damages exceeding $50,000. The plaintiffs in this case include Littrell, his wife Leighanne, and their company, BLB Beach Hut LLC.
The complaint alleges that Carolyn Barrington Hill, aged 67, entered the Walton County property without permission on multiple occasions starting in April 2025. It states that "no trespassing" signs were posted, and alleges that Hill shouted at a property manager, set up beach furniture, and refused to leave when asked. On one occasion, a deputy from the Walton County Sheriff's Office allegedly intervened.
The filing further claims that Hill recorded the family without consent and encouraged others to enter the property. It says that the Littrells hired security and suffered loss of privacy and enjoyment of their home. They are now seeking damages, legal costs, and an order barring Hill from approaching the property or recording them.
Hill's attorneys believe that the updated complaint will have the same legal flaws that caused the previous case to be dismissed. They argue that the Florida Constitution protects public access to the shoreline and dispute the claim of significant damages.
Last week, a judge dismissed the original September lawsuit without prejudice, stating that emotional distress damages are not allowed in a trespassing case and that there wasn't enough evidence to support the videotaping claim.
